V The general bject of the inventionis to provide an improved casement window wherein the parts are so constructed that This invention relates to casement; winthe window can readily befmoved to open' position, and wherein the window, when debe locked in theclosed position. One of the specificfobjects of the invention is to provide an'improved casement window wherein a whereby the window'may first be raised ver tically to clear a window strip after which it may be swung laterally to openpositlon. 'Anotherobjectof the invention is to provide an. improved casement window and 1 I .hinge whereinfthe window when closed .is

Referring to the drawing by reference characters, I have shown a window frame at 10. This frame is provided with a. bot

The casementwindow is shown at 14. Thiswindow is provided with-a sash, the lower portion 15 of which is provided with a groove 16 which fits over the'tong'ue 12. The'win- 'dow 1 1 at the 'bottom' engages a strip 17 which in conjunction withthe tongue and the groove arrangement renders a tight joint 1 and prevents entrance of moisture. The upper end of th e window is preferably beveled as at 18, since inoperating my window I; first move itsupper'end outwardly so that the groove 16 is free to clear the tongue 12. j

The means used for supporting the win--- dow comprises two members, an upper hinge These lugs engage the hinge members 20 and 21.- These h nge members 20 and 21 are each with'slots in their opposed faces.

'A'. development; of the upper window hinge is shown in'Fig. 8. This'hinge may be made from a single'strip or metal 25 as shown. When thehinge is so manufactured the metal is punched with suitable apertures substantially U-shaped and are provided 26 to receive screws for holding it in place.

Any number of screws may be used for this be arranged in any.

purpose and they may The strip 25 is provided'with'a slot 27.

This slot comprises an upwardly inclined portion 28 whichmerges into a portion 29 inclined slightly downward. Arecess 30 is provided adjacentthe junction ofthe portionse28 and 29. flTheend of the slot terminates in a headed portionv 31 through I which the heads 23 on the lugs22 may be" inserted. V

The lower; hinge is preferably construct ed from a strip of metal 35, shown in Fig. j

9. This lower hinge is provided with a slot 36 which includes an abruptly rising portion 37 a gradual rising portion 38, an offset portion 59 a horizontal portion 40 a down; wardlyinolined portion 41 and tennin'al headed portion 42. In construeting the hinges, the strips and .35 are bent to form a Ill-shaped rh'en'ibei' afterwhic h I-p'refe'r to: secure top and bottom members on the strips to exclude dust and to present a neat appearance.
